I love this place. I had to stop here a thousand times on my drives to and from Victoria when I was living in Seattle. I bought flowers and fruit and the gas, for some reason, was cheaper here than it was in the next town. The cashiers were friendly and often conversed with me. I liked it there, and they had big yummy cookies and a great beer selection.

THANKS LONGHOUSE

Quality Hotel Airport (South)

Quality was about as pleasant an experience as I could have imagined possible.

I got stuck at the Tsawwassen Ferry terminal having arrived late and missed my ferry. My wife contacted Quality and explained my situation, that I was stuck in Vancouver without a place to stay. They offered her a surprisingly low price.

The as I drove over, I wondered what kind of roach motel my wife had found for the price offered, and what I found was quite nice. After driving for roughly 6 hours, I was exhausted and the girl at the front desk, Betty, was super nice. She even charged up my ipod for me. The room itself was quite cold at first because it was a corner room with a lot of windows, but the heater took care of that in time. Everything was clean, they had cable TV, there was a newspaper at my door in the morning, and they had a free breakfast (that I didn't care for at all, but it's nice to know it's there).

I'm grateful to this place and its employees for helping me out of a jam.

    They're good there.
    They special order CDs and on Tuesdays I sometimes I ask http://twitter.co... if some CD I'm looking for is out and they let me know. That little extra touch really makes them extra special. Also, they do contests over twitter all the time. FREE TICKETS.

    I went to Every Day Music and Half-Price Books this week. Neither, as far as I could tell, has used CDs for $9. That said, the $9 used CDs at Easy Street are rare, and the service / selection / ambiance / etc there are great. They're still the best.

    Easy Street Records in West Seattle, I adore you so don't take it the wrong way when I remove a star.

    Just... the fact that you have some used CDs going for $9 makes me crazy.

    I couldn't be happier with this place.
    I've been here... 20 or more times since I moved here earlier in 2008.
    I've filled my punch card for a free CD twice now (that's 30 CDs purchased there so far!).
    The staff gets into conversations with me about music, they make recommendations, everyone's friendly, and the music selection is HAPPENIN'.
    I just said "happenin," folks. That's how I feel about it.
    I LOVE YOU EASY STREET W. SEATTLE.

    Maybe this is my favorite pho place.
    I think it might be.
    They don't have anything special they throw into the broth-- in fact, I sometimes miss the mushrooms they use over at the cheap place. BUT the service is always nice, the vegetarian pho has this lightly sweetened vegetable broth-- it's SO GOOD. yum.

    I feel like going there right now.

I loved this place. I loved my food and the lady that walked around singing. she was great.

Also, our waitress was fantastic.

My wife didn't love how fatty her dinner was, so we traded, and i LOVED HOW FATTY IT WAS.

also, great hot sauce.

This place is open 24 hours and I wind up stopping there pretty often on my drives to and from the tsawwassen ferry terminal.

At first I was... dubious about going to this place because it seems to be some kind of chain and I like to support the one-and-done places, but hey, it's the only one that's open. Can't beat that.

Everytime I drop in, the girls are very nice and the coffee always hits the spot and gets me home safe and awake.

Thanks, Big Foot Java

I like it here a lot.
The wait staff has been nice the two times I've been in and the food has been pretty tasty.

It used to be that they would give you insane helpings of food but the last time i was there the dishes were a little more... managable.
I wish the prices had been as a result, but they weren't. wah wahh.

I love the little chocolate mints that they give you here, and I loved the other, older mints that they used to have.

I liked it here.
My chicken sandwich doesn't really stand out in any way and it would have been the same thing had i ordered it at a chili's, but the bartenders were both friendly and I enjoyed the ambiance.

I loved that the bartender asked if I'd like the TV turned on instead of just turning it on. It's the little things that make a place.

Beth and I had a good dinner here on saturday night.
It was a packed house so we sat down at the bar. We hadn't really wanted to sit at the bar but we were quite hungry so we gave in. It turned out to be the right move.The bartender was friendly and attentive even though she was clearly swamped with crazy drink orders. She ruled.Get that poor girl some back-up sometime.

The tortilla chips before dinner were fantastic. The sauce was surprisingly hot and everything was just tasty about it.

The rest of dinner was, like yelp would say, A-OK. I liked it and would go back, but it wasn't particularly memorable.

I had a lot of fun.

I felt like having the band there took away from the experience a little as I really just went to talk and mingle. not to talk shit on Smile Brigade, though, my praise for them is totally documented on the WWW.

Anyway, Katy rules and the burger sliders were to die for and everyone's costumes ruled.
